Dave: Some people have to digest, twist, turn things up and then down
before they make a decision. There is nothing wrong with that. Once the
decision is made no looking back; just forge ahead and it sounds as though
you will be in good hands. By the way Mr. 54, if you think you are 17
now, wait till you are all through your therapy and this beautiful hair
grows back, and you have no good medical stories to tell, you will think you
are 7 year's old. The sun will be brighter, the grass greener and the women
prettier....your friend, lillian
